AFAIK it has been bundled with new Macs since the launch on 16th January, but of course it didn't show up magically on the hard drives of Macs already shipped to resellers. Here's what Apple said in January: >> iLife �04 will be available on January 16 for a suggested retail price of $49 >> (US) [...] The iLife �04 applications will also be included >> with all new Macs.

You could always ask them nicely if they will take care of the "shipping and handling" bit, but certainly there's no need to buy iLife '04: you've already paid for it. Miche. -- Erudition, n.
